I've been trying to figure this out for 2 weeks and now I'm stumped. I have a LiteOn DL DVD writer and Nero(OEM suite) that came with it. Everytime I try to burn DVDs (even non-copyrighted ones) I get an "Illegal disc" message and can't continue. Can someone please help? I posted my error log below ************* Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 11:35:32 AM Nero Version: 6.6.0.13 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 13c (Nero Express) Recorder: <LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S>Version: PS08 - HA 0 TA 0 - 6.6.0.13 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S>Version: PS08 - HA 0 TA 0 - 6.6.0.13 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 === Scsi-Device-Map === CdRomPeripheral : LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : ST340014A atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S D: CDRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 70254592 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 479MB (490992kB) Free physical memory: 117MB (120204kB) Memory in use : 75 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 20.1.2006 UDF/ISO compilation 5:15:54 PM #1 Phase 112 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files reallocation started 5:15:55 PM #2 Phase 114 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 5:15:55 PM #3 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6194 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet :FALSE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : FALSE Allow more than 255 characters in path : FALSE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 5:15:55 PM #4 Phase 111 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files sorted 5:15:55 PM #5 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 5:15:55 PM #6 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S running 5:15:55 PM #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3293 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 5:15:55 PM #8 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3293 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 5:15:55 PM #9 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3167 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 5:15:55 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 260 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 1665679 (370:09.04, 3253MB) 5:15:55 PM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 272 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 5:15:55 PM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2339 Recorder: LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: FUJIFI - LM03 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 5:15:55 PM #13 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 438 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 5:15:55 PM #14 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 830 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 1665680 (1665680) = #1665680/370:9.5 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 1665680 blocks [LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S] -------------------------------------------------------------- 5:15:55 PM #15 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1043 Prepare recorder [LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

I THINK U SHOULD TRY SOME OTHER DVD SOFTWARE LIKE: SHRINK DVD DVDX PLATINUM CLONE DVD 3.0 IF U NEED LINK TO DOWNLOAD LET ME KNOW
hi, i took a quick look at your log... a few things.. way outdated, 6.6.0.18 is available now (last update) thats up to date, i verified it kinda low in the memory department and 75% usage of memory !!! dont use any programs other then nero while using it.. close down all applications and programs, free up some memory, defrag the hd, clean out the hd occasionally too.. never heard of that media (at least by code, i know its fuji, but from where) and your burn is set too close to the edge, roll it back a bit to like 4300mb try this first and see what happens, then post a log again if it still happens. i think the update and a media change will resolve your issues !
Tried everything you suggested but it still says Illegal Disc. btw-I use Imation DVD-R (probably made by Fujifilm) ******** Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 6:35:34 PM Nero Version: 6.6.0.18 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 18e (Nero Express) Recorder: <LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S>Version: PS08 - HA 0 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S>Version: PS08 - HA 0 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 === Scsi-Device-Map === CdRomPeripheral : LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : ST340014A atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S D: CDRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 70254592 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 479MB (490992kB) Free physical memory: 139MB (142884kB) Memory in use : 70 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 21.1.2006 UDF/ISO compilation 12:20:08 PM #1 Phase 112 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files reallocation started 12:20:08 PM #2 Phase 114 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 12:20:08 PM #3 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6359 UDF document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 UDF Mode : UDF/ISO bridge UDF Revision : 1.02 UDF Partition Type : physical ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet :FALSE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : FALSE Allow more than 255 characters in path : FALSE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 12:20:08 PM #4 Phase 111 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files sorted 12:20:09 PM #5 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 12:20:09 PM #6 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S running 12:20:09 PM #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 12:20:09 PM #8 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 12:20:09 PM #9 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3233 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 12:20:09 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 270 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4300MB) Last address to be written: 1665679 (370:09.04, 3253MB) 12:20:09 PM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 282 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 12:20:09 PM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: FUJIFI - LM03 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 12:20:09 PM #13 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 448 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 12:20:09 PM #14 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 838 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 1665680 (1665680) = #1665680/370:9.5 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 1665680 blocks [LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S] -------------------------------------------------------------- 12:20:09 PM #15 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1051 Prepare recorder [LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

ok, i think i got it... that burner you have is an external burner, am i correct? connected via USB ? my sister has the same one... and we updated her firmware last night... it had problems with the -r media try some +r media, see what happens.. also, your memory in use is at 70% while doing the burn... you sure you have all progams closed down? run task manager to see whats going on... and imation media is junk media.. still low on memory... free some up.. do a defrag on the system, even do a restart, close down all applications except the ones needed to run the pc and your nero..
No its an internal burner and I already updated my firmware. But +r media did work when I burned. Sucks that I bought these -r's. I guess I'll just use them to backup files. Big thanks Gear
no problem.... more and more burners now a days are geared towards the +format now.. plus, its better to use + anyway... easy to booktype to dvd-rom where as the - format, you cant !!
